BSoD Very Disappointed


Recommended Posts

Hello friends,

This is my first time so I hope this is the right place for this. I have been using Malwarebytes for a couple of years now. I did pay for the yearly protection as I don't think anything should be free when developers need to be paid for their hard work to protect us.

Well, a few months ago, their was an MW update and then in less than 24 hours I was getting the Blue Screen of Death (Bad Pool Caller) error. I search for a fix and it took me a couple of weeks to figure it out. I saw a video by Carey Holzman on Youtube telling us that MW is the reason. So I uninstalled it, and the BSoD went away. Then, I tried to reinstall MW and since I did in Feb, I had no issues until the latest update, And now the BSoD is back. So once again, reading up on the issue, I find out it is MWbytes again. And once again, I uninstall it and it is gone.

I must say, I am paying for you to protect my computer not damage it. Is there a reason why your updates is cause my Windows 10 to crash every time there is an update?

Please fix the problem or give me my money back, respectfully.

Best regards,

JeffG1960
